Sports nutrition products are manufactured to supplement essential nutrients that enhance performance, increase physical strength, build muscle, and improve the overall well-being of consumers. Historically, they were consumed by only traditional users such as athletes, sports people, and bodybuilders.

The global sports nutrition market is anticipated to expand at a remarkable CAGR over the forecast period (2017 to 2021), according to a report available on Radiant Insights, Inc. Bodybuilders and athletes are leading consumers of sports nutrition products to improve muscle growth, performance, and overall health. However, such products are also being widely consumed by the general population owing to increasing health awareness among consumers.
